5. Withdrawing Money.
5.1 How to Withdraw Money. Depending on the country/region in which your Account is registered, you may withdraw funds from your Account in any of these methods: (a) by electronically transferring them to your U.S. bank account or to your local bank account, (b) by electronically transferring them to your card where available, (c) through a PayPal initiated Automatic Transfer to your linked financial instrument, or (d) by requesting a physical check through the mail. In certain countries, your ability to withdraw to a local bank account may require the use of PayPal Retiros. Different currency rules may apply to PayPal Retiros. Please see terms and conditions for additional information regarding the service. Depending on the country/region in which your Account is registered, the currencies in which you may withdraw your funds to your local bank account may be limited. With the exception of Users with Accounts registered in the People’s Republic of China or unless otherwise specified, when withdrawing your funds to your local bank account, funds may only be withdrawn in your local currency. If you are holding a balance in U.S. Dollar, you may be able to withdraw the funds to your linked U.S. bank account or card where available. If you are holding a balance in a foreign currency, you may only withdraw that balance (or part thereof) after it has been converted to (a) the local currency if you are withdrawing your funds to your local bank account or card where available (b) U.S. Dollar if you are withdrawing your funds to your linked U.S. bank account or card where available. Depending on the country/region in which your Account is registered, you may be able to withdraw your funds through a third party service provider. Please see terms of such third party for information regarding currency conversions.
Policies may have changed.
Was your card issued in the US? If not, then PayPal will convert to local currency on withdraw and the card will convert back to USD causing double conversion like it does with bank accounts. It's not so much the currency of the card but the "nationality" of the card or bank account.
PayPal converts to local currency on withdrawals in general. Buying maybe a different case though, as we can indicate to PayPal by calling customer service what specific currency to use on a card with regard to purchases. Just doesn't seem that PayPal allows you to withdraw in USD currency if your financial details are not US based. They haven't been allowing it for bank withdrawals so it would stand to reason it also applies to cards.
